Youngest and oldest skaters to land triples.

The two skaters off the top of my head that have landed triple jumps either in competition or exhibition are Kevin Reynolds (as a ten year old at a Canadian national juvenile championship) and Brian Boitano aged 48 last year at the 2011 Caesar's Tribute.

Are there any others that have landed triples older or younger (in competition or exhibition)

Nathan Chen was definitely landing triples at age 10, when he won the 2010 US novice title. I think he had a 2A the year before.

I think you're right about Brian being the oldest.. I'm racking my brains but I can't think of anyone older than him doing it.. he is slightly older than Kurt, and I'm pretty sure Hamilton was a bit younger than 48 when he retired.

I have a tape with skating on it from the mid nineties and there is a Centrum vitamins commercial with Donald Jackson landing a triple in it (likely 1993-1994ish)...I believe he would have been in his 60s.

That would be great if you could find it.

According to Wikipedia, Don was born in 1940, so in 1993/4, he would have been 54 (which would have made him the oldest person to land a triple).

Maria Sotskova landed clean 3S+2T in competition in March 2010, one month before turning 10 years old (she is b. in April 2000 and she's old enough for next year's JGP) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb8xxfVEpq8

Is Fumie Suguri still landing triples? She might be the oldest woman. I think Irina Slutskaya still lands her triple loop even though she doesn't compete like Fumie and they are about the same age.

What about Midori Ito? Did she land any triples in those Adult worlds?

There's also Anastasia Gimazetdinova.. Caryn Kadavy (I never noticed if her jumps in shows are triples or doubles).. can't think of any others right now. If Kadavy does do triples still, she must be the oldest one.
